I was playing Monopoly with some friends. One friend (hereafter referred to as A) reached over put money in the bank and took a property.I (the banker) was irked and chastised her. A said that her actions were fine as she wasn't cheating. These same actions once got me kicked out of a family game. My question is: Should taking action in the bank without the banker be grounds for cheating?

You gotta set up initially that only the banker deals with the money if this is going to be a problem, but for fuck's sake, that's WHY there exists a banker!

I was thinking the same thing.... why have a banker if everyone is going to get all touchy feely with the monies?

I say no. It shouldn't be cheating perse
But yeah, such action should be frowned upon.

I'd agree with Silver_rose; it's not cheating but it does slow down an otherwise fairly streamlined game.

I think if they are not trying to cheat it is fine, but it could be pretty easy to accidentally or on purpose not put in the full amount when paying, better to have someone check the money just in case.
